WE'RE TALKIN' FOOTBALL: NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME LIVEGAMEOPENTHREAD

in Iowa Hawkeyes Game Threads
Email
PrintTime for college football's last gasp before going away 'til September.
Yes, it's a rematch and, yes, the first game wasn't the most thrilling if you like, uh, points, but these are still two deeply talented teams. It should be a good game. And if not, well, there's other stuff on TV too. The game's on ESPN now.
The standard open threading rules apply: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no politics, no religion, no slurs, no douchebaggery.

Im not watching
simply because if i watch, im rewarding the BCS for not having a playoff when 2 out of every 3 times it would help their situation.
also a chick has invited me over to her place for some afternoon delight, and that takes priority.

I've never been so apathetic about a football game. Does anyone have a good reason
to root for one team over the other?
I like Les Miles clapping style, now that it has been brought to my attention.
Gotta go with the guy that claps like a special needs kid and eats grass.
I think Les is much more entertaining. But, it’s a de facto home game for LSU, so boo, fuck them. But, Alabama – who likes them? Plus, missed field goals was not fun the first time around. Can they both lose? I just don’t care.

Funny Alabama related story that you might have had have to be there for:
Driving home from the wrestling meet w/ my dad we were talking about a guy who came down from the governor’s office to talk to people in Van Buren Co about their health. Apparently the VBC is ranked 99th out of all of the counties in Iowa in healthy people. My response was “so the VBC is like the Alabama of Iowa?” Him? “Yes, I suppose it is.”

The 2002 OSU offense wasn't very good.
They won with defense, special teams, and a lot of good fortune.
The 2006 offense beat up on mediocre defenses but got utterly owned by a Florida defense that probably wasn’t as good as either of these defenses.
The 2007 offense was somewhere in between those two offenses. That team didn’t deserve to be in the title game, but no one really did that year, so whatever.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I was thinking 06 and 07.
I can’t remember what type of WR talent the 02 team had, but I doubt Krenzel does much.
06 eventually scored a first-half rushing TD against Florida? And 07 got one in three different quarters against LSU?
/I realize those Florida and LSU Defenses aren’t as good as tonight’s.

If you really want Cinderellas, we should simply have the basketball conference championship tourneys as the entirety of the season, then pick all the other teams for March Madness out of a hat. Because that’s what you’re doing by rewarding teams that didn’t really earn it during the season.

In any given game
anything can happen. The problem becomes when you let too many teams in. The regular season should serve to winnow the field so that any playoff is the best of the best. But that’s not how it works. Win your conference championship, and you’re in. had UConn not won the Big East Tourney last year, even had the lost in the finals, they weren’t making March Madness, their resume was that bad. Thus, the entirety of their regular season was rendered meaningless for the sole fact that they got hot at the right time. That’s bullshit. Just because Iowa State got hot at the right time versus Okie State, that doesn’t qualify them to be playing for all the marbles.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I guess to me
that is exciting, when the underdog wins. that is fun to see the loser get hot. At any time any team should have beet UConn, after all they sucked in the regular season. they had to win what? 10 games in a row to win the Championship? they did the impossible. That is great.
Now lets look at football, first there are not that many games as opposed to BBall. there are not that many teams in FBall as there is in BBall. There would be fewer teams in a FBall playoff. Also you want to talk fair, if it is not fair for a UConn team to win the NCAA championship, simply because they got hot at the right time, then how is this current BCS fair when undefeated teams don’t even get a sniff of the Championship game. TCU, Boise State, Cinnicinati. They don’t get a sniff because they are not in an AQ conference. The Big 6 keep them out. Do they have a weaker conference? sure but is that reason enough to not give them a shot? I don’t think so.

Seriously? So, fucking what? I’ve never understood the obsession with having to have a clear-cut champion in a sport where each conference’s best teams will have played, at most, 10% of the total competition in the same division (1A)

This is the only bowl game that wasn't an exhibition
In the old system you could have two or three bowl games that had a bearing on the MNC. Now there’s just the one and all others have no chance of influencing anything.

As long as you acknowledge
that, more often than not, a team that isn’t “deserving” is the one that is going to end up with the title.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I can't think of another team
that wasn’t “deserving” that won the title in basketball. Maybe NC State when they beat Houston, but usually the team that wins the title in basketball is a team that deserves it or has a good case to make.

Didn't a team that wasn't deserving just win it all?
To me the NY Giants were deserving because of the playoff format. Bama is not deserving.

The fact
that a .500 team like Denver this year (or a sub-.500 team like Seattle last year) could win it all is a travesty. But under your standard, they would be “deserving”

how often does that happen?

You will
and the first year it is in place, people will be bitching that the #5, or #9 or #17 team was unfairly excluded and that the only way to “fix” this problem is to expand the playoffs.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
That's better
than wondering who the “true” #2 team is. And excluding some deserving teams.
NFL playoffs or NCAA hoops tourney at least doesn’t keep many truly deserving teams out.
And worrying about bracket creep as an excuse for not having a “true” championship is just bad.

I think it's a legitimate concern
and one that I would appreciate playoff proponents would acknowledge. I’m more than happy to admit the limitations of the current system (or the pre-BCS system). I’m just willing to live with them. But it’s far more honest than simply dismissing the flaws of your system as inconsequential.
And this isn’t directed solely at you, Chazz; but rather playoff advocates in general.
Would a playoff “fix” a number of “problems” in the current system? Yes, undoubtedly. But it would introduce a whole host of new ones, while not really solving the key issue it purports to. Trust me, the arguments for who is the “true” #4 or #8 team will be just as vehement, and fraught with problems, as they are for currently for the #2.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I get what you are saying
but that will always be the case no matter what system we have. If we are ok with the “politicing” now I am sure we will be fine with it in a playoff system.

I don't understand that
how does a playoff change the regular season? If anything it makes it stronger, for example, all those “bubble” teams you have mentioned before would need to win and win big to make the playoffs. That would enhance it. Another thing is in 2009 when Iowa was 10-2, wouldn’t you like to see Iowa still have a chance to make the Championship game? To have Kinnick host a playoff game? That would be epic and exciting.

I would much rather

And also, having a 4 or 8 team playoff should mean more quality matchups of teams from different conferences. I think that would be good.

by WaterlooChazz on Jan 9, 2012 11:25 PM CST up reply actions
Why is that?
Seriously, what is intrinsically different about arguing who is #4, and being dissatisfied with the answer, any different than arguing the same about #2? All you’ve done is push the argument down the food chain a step or two. But there is no substantive difference, you’re just more willing to accept this problem because it “feels” better.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
So how'd BYU win it back in '84?
That seems even less likely now. And, I meant in comparison with the BCS or a ‘plus-one’ setup. If there was a full playoff system like FCS does that’d be even better in my book, but what we have now is worse than what it replaced.

because that is all that was offered. Also, if we were ok with it, why then did it change to the BCS system? We wanted a match-up with the #1 and #2 teams. We didn’t always get that so that is why they went to the plus one.
We were never ok with it, nor did we accept it.

Yes.
Back then, we couldn’t see if anyone outside the top ten or 15 were any good.
The only way for dis-satisfied fans to show their anger would be to write letters or vote with their money.
And finally, nearly everything was based on reputation and voting by people who may or may not be paying attention. The current system still over-values those, but at least there is a tiny bit of other aspects in the mix.

I agree that a lot of corruption has really crept into college football (and basketball to an extent)
over the last 20-30 years as football has taken over as the national obsession and the $$$ has skyrocketed.
I don’t think it’s all so drastically different if we could just get all of the corrupting money flowing in a more transparent way.
So, I guess it’s #OCCUPYNCAAOFFICES or something.

At a minimum
any playoff (or the BCS if it continues) ought to require that you must win your conference in order to be included in the bracket.

Screw not winning their conference - they didn't even win their DIVISION
I get the debate back and forth – it’s a spirited one – but I think Bama winning the title all on its own spits in the face of the regular season. LSU dominated the regular season, was No. 1 for basically the entire season, beat a large number of ranked teams, played an incredibly difficult schedule, beat both the Pac-12 and Big East champions, won their division, won their conference, and – oh yeah – won AT Alabama.
Their reward for playing (admittedly) awful on the last night of the season, after being No. 1 since early September? Fewer first place votes than No. 3 Oklahoma State. That’s absurd.
Hoya, you’re right – at a minimum, any playoff or BCS system should require that you win your conference in order to be in the tournament.
